Environment-friendly mixed refrigerant
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel environment-friendly refrigerant for replacing HCFC-22, in particular to a novel environment-friendly refrigerant for replacing HCFC-22 in an air-conditioning system.
Background
From 10.10.14.2016, "montreal protocol on ozone depletion substances", the 28 th meeting of the convention of convention on ruwanda based galileo, passed the "based galileo amendment" in a large part to reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), thereby preventing global temperature increases of 0.5 ℃ at the end of the 21 st century. The protocol is an important file which has milestone significance after Paris agreement. HCFC-22 is listed as a phased-out row due to its ODP (ozone depletion potential) value and higher GWP (global warming potential) value.
Currently, the main substitute refrigerants for HCFC-22 are R410A, R417B and the like. Although their ODP value is 0, their GWP is still high, and cannot meet the environmental protection requirement that GWP is less than 150. While R32 as a single refrigerant has the problems of over-high system pressure and over-high exhaust temperature, R290 and R600a are inflammable and explosive, the safety level is generally lower than A2L, and serious safety risk exists. Therefore, the refrigerant which has the performance equivalent to HCFC-22, the GWP value lower than 150 and the safety performance of A2L is basically not available except for foreign HFOs mixed refrigerants, but the refrigerant has the characteristics of higher price, weak combustibility and poor refrigerating performance.
In the prior art, Chinese patent document CN201810164006.0 discloses a composition of 10-17% of fluoroethane; 25-40% of propane; a refrigerant which substitutes R22 for 40-55% of tetrafluoropropene; chinese patent document CN201711049752.7 discloses a refrigerant which contains 60-80% of propylene, 10-25% of propane and 10-20% of cyclopropane and replaces R22; chinese patent document CN200910102217.2 discloses a refrigerant which contains 35-50% of propylene, 30-40% of propane, 5-16% of tetrafluoroethane, 5-10% of trifluoroethane and 5-16% of liquid carbon dioxide and replaces R22; chinese patent document CN 201210393640.4 discloses a mixed refrigerant containing trifluoroiodomethane, which comprises, by mass, 1-10% of trifluoroiodomethane, 20-40% of 1, 1-difluoroethane, and 50-75% of propane. The refrigerant disclosed in the above patent has disadvantages that the HCFC-22 system may not be directly used for the tank charging, or the GWP value is high, or the refrigerant performance is inferior to HCFC-22, or the flammability is large, and thus, it is required to develop a novel refrigerant having better refrigeration performance, better compatibility with the existing system, and better environmental protection performance.
